Pope Francis had a nightly ritual for the last 18 months of his life; calling Gaza’s only Catholic Church throughout the war. CNN’s Jeremy Diamond spoke to the church’s priests about their special bond with the pope.

The parish priest of Gaza's only Catholic church talks about getting daily calls from Pope Francis during the Israel-Hamas conflict.

Pope Francis called to check in on a Christian congregation in Gaza sheltering at their church almost every night since the Gaza war began. "Today we feel like we are orphans," a spokesperson says.
